The Ditch And The Delta Streams New Song
Salt Lake City based sludge act The Ditch and the Delta is streaming the new song "'Till Body Quits," which you can enjoy in the player below. The song is taken from the upcoming new album "Hives in Decline" which drops via Prosthetic Records on September 8th.
The Ditch and the Delta formed out of three friends of nearly 15 years. While Elliot Secrist (guitar/vocals), and Charles Bogus (Drums), have played in bands off an on over that span of time, it was the addition of Kory Quist (Bass/vocals) that solidified the band and their sound. The band is often lumped in the doom category but their sound is most often described as sludgy math rock, “Neurosis as a stripped down, noise rock outfit” (noecho.net).

The Ditch And The Delta Premieres Full New Album
Mark your calendars: May 12th, 2017 is the day you get sludged straight to death!
That's the day Battleground Records will further expand the label’s already-diverse roster with SLC squadron The Ditch And The Delta's debut LP "Hives In Decline."
Engineered by Andy Patterson of Subrosa, "Hives In Decline" shows The Ditch And The Delta exploring further aspects of sound design, from sludgy doom to math metal for a style the band simply terms "Big Riff."
Employing different tunings and modal centers, every song the band writes manages to avoid many of the usual doom trappings of excessive feedback, static harmony, and pentatonic riffs. The lyrical content deals with everyday life and the constant suppression and alienation that comes with it. Three men from Mormon-dominated Utah are bound to have a lot of resentment and disdain for the mono culture they exist in daily.
You don't have to wait any longer to hear the end result for yourself, because today we're premiering the entire album ahead of release - listen in below!
Pre-orders are online right here. The album includes a swarm of solos by Gentry Densley (Eagle Twin, Iceburn) on the song “Fuck On Asphalt," and the full track listing is as follows:
1. Hives In Decline
2. Fuck On Asphalt
3. Sleeping Dogs
4. Dry Land
5. Till Body Quits
